Ella Nuttelman is a certified running coach through UESCA. She works with athletes to build endurance and strength, which are crucial for crushing long races. Ella has found speed on both the road and the trail, having run the Boston Marathon, and more recently, winning the Grand Traverse Triple Crown (having the fastest combined time for a ski mountaineering race, trail run, and mountain bike race). She also holds FKT’s (fastest known times) for the East Ridge of Edith Cavell and Big Sister up in Canada. While racing provides clear goals and structure, she also loves partaking and helping people train for big adventures. Some of her personal favorites have been fastpacking the Wonderland Trail and climbing Mount Rainier, trail running R2R2R and backpacking the North side of the Grand Canyon, climbing Gannet Peak, and mountain biking White Rim in a day. Perhaps more important than her achievements are the lessons she has learned through setbacks, which have taught her invaluable lessons about training properly (and what not to do). When Ella is not coaching, she loves getting outside and staying active with her family. She lives in Boulder, CO with her husband Charlie, and they have a 2-year-old son, Logan.
